4 REASONS A TERMITE INSPECTION IS A GOOD IDEA

When you hear the word “termite” most people know that they are a type of pest that eats wood and can damage homes. However, it is important that you truly understand how damaging these pests can be. Although termites may not be a problem for you now, it is very important that you be proactive about preventing them from invading your property and home. Termites are responsible for over 5 billion dollars of damage to homes in the U.S. each year and generally these damages are not covered by home insurance. One of the best ways to prevent a problem with termites in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and the Eastern Shore of Maryland is to get routine termite inspections.

Termite inspections are a great way to spot termites before too much time passes and they are able to inflict costly damages to the structure of your home. At Viking Pest Control our team of local termite extermination experts have come up with four important reasons why you should seriously consider getting a termite inspection for your NJ, PA, DE, or MD home or business.

1. Saving Money- Even though you may not want to spend the money on a termite inspection, it will be worth it in the end. Spending a bit of money now to find problems with termites early actually has the potential to save you thousands of dollars in repairs in the future due to an unidentified termite problem.

2. Safety Sake- When termites feed on the structural wood of your home, over time they significantly weaken its structure. You may see floors, ceilings, and doorways warping, and walls becoming blistered as well as splintered.

3. Time-Saving- Taking the time now to schedule a home termite inspection means that any problems that are found can be treated immediately. Early intervention will quicken the time it takes to eliminate your termite infestation. Early intervention also lessens the damage to your home making any needed repairs happen faster as well.

4. Sound Sleep- Knowing that your home has been inspected and it is termite free should give you the peace of mind to sleep soundly at night. And if termites are found it should give you peace of mind that treatment can begin sooner rather than later and your unwanted house guests will be eliminated before you know it.
